Wimbledon Men’s Final Point And Victory

This was the greatest tennis match I have ever seen. Rafael Nadal wins his first Wimbledon and Roger is crushed. They played like gladiators and did so for over 4 hrs and 40 mins. Nadal emerged the champion. At 22 he is a tremendous athlete, a true champion and I have been a loyal fan since he turned pro. This is a beautiful moment in history I wish to share with you.

I watched every moment of this match, and I have to admit, I was rooting for Federer out of nostalgia really, but it was simply one of the greatest athletic battles I’ve ever seen.

And what struck me in the end was the graciousness and dignity of both men. I listened to Rafa talk about his respect for his opponent at a moment when some hubris would have been understandable…but he was the kind of champion I could happily watch with my kids…hard working, dedicated, passionate…and ultimately humble, even in victory.

What an epic five set match by the two titans of tennis. My eyes were glued to this marathon for 4 hours and 48 minutes! This was the greatest and perhaps the best quality tennis I have ever witnessed in any tournament. Congrats to Nadal for taking down the great Federer.
